Are you friends with your coworkers?
« on: October 29, 2018, 08:47:20 am »
I'm friendly but I wouldn't say I'm friends with them.  A lot of them live in different states anyway.  Even if they lived close to me I don't know if I would hang out with them not because I don't like them I do like a majority of them.  At my old job I was friendly enough to be invited to their events like weddings, parties etc.

When I did have a job, coworkers were just coworkers. They were not really friends just associates at the work place.

They are associates, we have a good laugh at times, but they are not "friends" outside of work.

No...Just acquaintances.    I don't think we would have much to talk about outside of work.  8) 8)

I was friendly to them at work and if I met them  somewhere in a store of other places, but no since I was in management all the time I never  got  real close or  partied with any of the coworkers. It was easier for me and then others in the  store or wherever  could say I was playing favoritism with any one.

No job outside the home at the moment, but I don't think I would want to be friends outside of the workplace. Wouldn't want anything to distract you from the job, or if a friendship went south, have it affect the job.

I did home health for years and I was never really friends with them, even at meetings I never associated personally with them.

I work with a lot of folks who are YEARS younger than me -- we have little in common.  I am friendly with all of them, but not really "friends"

No. I tried to be friends with one coworker -- BIG MISTAKE. Endless facebook drama//arguments over politics. Honestly, her reading comprehension skills aren't that good so she was always misunderstanding what I was saying. I've really pulled back from my friendship with her, and she's supposedly retiring within the next year. Gonna block her from all social media after that. I just don't like her!!

Am friendly send them a smile. Wouldn't ignore them if they needed something.  I don't ask depth questions just hows your day going.
